alx: "on the cherry blossom" it has been modified: 2023-10-04 di
Japanese studio alx has designed “on the cherry blossom”, a three-storey house on the corner of a residential street in Tokyo.
Using two nearby cherry blossom trees as a design element in the project, the home is limited in its interaction at street level but opens with a large floor-to-ceiling window front on the top floor.
Composed of multiple cubic volumes fitted together, the design offers the least amount of floor space at street level, but grows incrementally as you ascend to the third floor, where the dining room opens up to the cherry blossoms outside that form the backdrop to the space.
